Columbus woman dies nearly nine years after shooting that left her paralyzed

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A Columbus woman has died nearly nine years after she was paralyzed in a shooting.

Alexandria ‘Alix’ Reese was shot in the neck on May 27, 2010. It happened while she was driving at the intersection of Atcheson Street and Trivette Avenue in Columbus.

Police say she drove into the crossfire as Drakkar Groce fired shots at a group of people across the street. A bullet severed her cervical spine and spinal cord, leaving her paralyzed from the neck down.

Groce was sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting Reese. A drug trafficking conviction brought his total sentence to 29 years.
